Hello, Marco Is since 12 years a passionate, truffel hunter. Marco started truffeling with a Border Collie that I imported from the Netherlands ( I'm Dutch). This wonderful dog is still part of our group :-). When truffeling became a more serious business and Marco wanted to make the step to become professional truffel hunter, he did a big research to the perfect truffel dog. The border collie is a great dog, but she is also really sensible. So we were searching for a strong working dog, that is used to work in cold winters and hot summers. So that's how we came 7 years ago in contact with the Australian Kelpie. It was love on first side:-). Marco is also a professional dog behavior- therapist, and was amazed about the working capacity of this breed. 5 years ago I got immigrated from the Netherlands. That's also the moment that we started breeding this wonderful breed. Our goal in breeding is to stay as close as possible to the standard of the breed. We check all our dogs on HD, ED, Eyes and heart ( Doppler test). We only breed with HD A, and sometimes B and free of all diseases! Besides the health also the working character and the exterior has to be perfect.We are in the third generation now, and it's not a easy job breeding this breed that is so full of genes. It's still amazing to see how many differences you see In one litter. Anyway we are really happy with the results so far, and we hope to continue like this, to keep this breed healthy, happy and unique.
